Some of you may know of my long term connection with dyslexia through my son and my teaching. I bothers me that so many people misunderstand and underestimate the abilities of dyslexics. Dyslexics have physical problems with reading and/or writing and/or spelling . They use, appreciate and understand language as well or even better than most of us. They develop strategies to deal with their problems which develop other abilities. My son for example has excellent aural skills and can absorb more information from the spoken word than I can. He is an award winning writer and director
So come on, I know GNers have dyslexic family members, please post about their skills and achievements and let's kill this idea that they are somehow less able than the rest of us, they are different but equal.
